Wily awoke with a start, and realized where he'd fallen asleep. He checked the time, and discovered that it was 6:23 a.m. He groggily got up to go to bed for another hour when he got a funny feeling that something was wrong. Then he snapped awake. Klaxons all throughout the fortress were blaring and the computer was in a red alert status. Wily jumped back to his chair, fully awake now. "Computer, report!" he shouted. He brought up the security cameras and noticed that most of the outer perimeter cameras were out of commission.
"Fortress is under attack by unknown creatures. They have similar compositions of creatures which attacked the fortress yesterday, but do not physically resemble them," the computer responded. Wily scanned internal sensors until he found the things. They were humanoid this time, or bipedal at least. The similarities pretty much stopped there. They had arms and what appeared to be hands, but they also had another set of arms, which extended over the shoulders. These arms, however, ended in what appeared to be a dangerous looking weapon of some sort. They stood at about five feet high, but looked rather bulky, and their chest cavity was also decked out in various weapons systems. There were about four in current view, and probably more behind them. Wily watched as they were engaged by a trio of sniper joes. The joes poured on fire, and hid behind their shield when return fire was encountered. One of the joes was caught with a duel blast from the shoulder cannons of one of the things while his shield was up. The joe went down hard, and in pieces. The other two tried to hold out, but were dispatched in a similar manner. Wily hit the comm.
"All robot masters, get to the southernmost portion of the fortress ASAP! Don't get yourselves killed down there either! I'm forwarding all known data into your systems for infield usage. Move it!" Wily continued to watch as a hidden wall cannon revealed itself only to be completely vaporized before it could fire. Whatever these things were, they were obviously much more advanced units than whatever had been encountered last night. The robots came upon a gate, and approached it. The gate went up as they approached and immediately snapped shut when the first two had gone through. Those two were about to face Tomahawk Man. The other robots seemed undeterred and took a different route through the halls. The two that had entered found themselves faced by an impressive looking blue robot with red feathers sticking out of his head.
"Welcome," Tomahawk Man said, "Prepare to be annihilated." His only response was a laser beam emitted from, the lead cyborg's hand, which was easily dodged. Tomahawk Man replied with his own silver tomahawk, which caught the lead robot in the chest and knocked him back. The other cyborg opened up as well as they both tried to hit the robot master, who in turn threw silver tomahawks and energy feathers at the intruders.
Wily quickly realized that the new encounters could take as much damage as any robot master, and the battle became increasingly prolonged. The master was managing to hold his own, but the cyborgs were learning to buddy their shots so that one would shoot at him while the other would hit him as he tried to dodge. Tomahawk Man tried his best, but they were gaining the upper hand.
A sudden explosion rattled the walls and a crash bomb, sent from the newly opened wall, latched itself onto the lead cyborg. The explosion took it out and threw the other onto the floor, where another bomb was already on its way to meet it. This one was not as damaged as the last, but the bomb blew off one of its arm joints, and left it with a few less weapon systems. The combined team of Tomahawk Man and Crash Man was able to quickly finish it off. Then they ran off to find others to defeat, after Tomahawk Man recharged his energy.
Wily's face wore a smug expression. That was two less intruders to worry about. Of course, he couldn't celebrate just yet, more of these things were entering the fortress by the minute. After so long fighting only one robot, namely Mega Man, Wily was not used to taking on an entire army, and his security systems were apparently inadequate. It was up to his prize creations, the robot masters, to guard the fortress now. However, they were also having a rough time. Hard Man and Stone Man had already been eliminated, in fact, Wily was losing robot masters left and right. There were only 10 left of the 18 that he had brought to the new fortress. Wily considered calling his masters from his other fortress, but as he turned to his long range communication signals, a sudden fear gripped him. The communicator was no longer responding. Wily cursed under his breath, this was not good. Without the reinforcements, this fortress was going to fall, unless he could do something to stop it. He hurried towards his storage chamber, it was time to try out his new war machine, these things would regret having messed with Dr. Albert Wily.
